Now you may each interpret your experiences in your own way but feel the independence of yourself from this room and from this time and from this existence. It is, indeed, real and so are dreams real. Pretend then that the room itself is a dream from which you are almost about to awaken, and with your eyes closed still, you will awaken from this room into another place and another time, and with your eyes closed you will awaken to another reality as valid and legitimate as this one. A reality in which you are intimately concerned and feel within yourselves the inner identity recognizing that which it now sees and perceives.
You may, again, interpret the experience in whatever terms you choose. If you hear voices, then listen to what they say. The voices of strangers and beloved ones are often the same voices, and the scenes that you see often, you have seen before. But the vitality that draws you, and the vitality that is within each of you is the same vitality that changes the seasons that you know and that gives your physical existence its meaning that insures the survival of your identity. And within this energy have you your independent existence.
Climb up my words then, rush up the vowels and the syllables and let them form for you a ladder of energy by which you can send. And let them form a foundation upon which you can climb to find your own reality and your own existence that is in itself independent, both of my words and even of the room in which now your bodies sit, for that independent inner self wanders through all existences that you have known, in your terms, has a wisdom and knowledge that you can use. And each of you in a greater sense knows the nature of your own vitality, and none of you are alone or have ever been alone for within you is the knowledge of all the personalities that you are, and within you are those abilities to be used and tapped.
